Time flies, and in the monotonous days of Luxi Academy day after day, the raging north wind blows up the fallen leaves, quietly dispelling the continuous and cool autumn, and whistling with the frost with its sharp and sharp momentum.

It quickly drags the warm Jiangnan into the long winter.

The freehand painting of Jiangnan is soft. Even if it is covered with the biting cold, the trees on the distant mountains are still green. However, compared with the abundant spring, there is less vigorous vitality and more empty and dead silence. It is still different.

The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the lively and festive Spring Festival is far away. As the holiday approaches, the students of Luxi Academy gradually become restless, and their faces are filled with depression and impatience, which adds a little to the cold winter day.

Divide a rare vitality.

In the Shanchang Mansion, Xu Chengyu reviewed Gu Yunji's homework and said, "Well, I have done a good job in the past two days, so it's rare that you can calm down. It's time to be on holiday, let alone students, even teachers.

I don’t have much time to go to class anymore, and it seems that I can still sit still. In fact, Hun'er has already flew home."

Gu Yunji handed him the charcoal-filled hand stove and said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't? It's obviously several days before the holiday, but they all started to pack their luggage in groups of three or three. Su Qi was planning to take him to the northern Xinjiang every day.

What things? Last night he suddenly remembered that he had not cleaned up his knee pads. He put on some clothes in the middle of the night and started searching without even feeling cold."

Xu Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is he going to Northern Xinjiang this year? Isn't going back to the capital?"

Gu Yunji said: "It was Duke Ding who sent a letter to ask Su Qi to pack up his things and go to the northern border as soon as the holiday was on, accompany him to guard the border and train troops. After the spring began, he would come back."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyu couldn't help but tsk: "The northern border is bitter and cold, and it is even more amazing in winter. Duke Ding was so cruel that he brought his son to such a place. However, Su Qi, a young man who was used to experiencing wealth, was originally

If he refused to come to the academy, he would rather do it this time?"

"Where is willing? Su Qi complained about his father for a long time. He wrote several letters to protest, but he was beaten back by Duke Ding without mercy. There was no way, so he could only obey."

Recalling Su Qi's appearance, Gu Yunji couldn't help but feel funny: "But I look at him, just talking nonsense. He complained, but in fact, when he received his father's letter, Su Qi started packing his luggage."

"Before the people sent by Duke Ding to pick him up, he prepared to stop everything and even planned several routes to the northern border. In this way, he still said that he was afraid he had picked it up.

Duke Ding didn't feel sorry for him at all."

Hearing his description, Xu Chengyu couldn't help laughing. After shaking his head and laughing for a while, he sighed again: "After all, it's a family of military generals. Although Su Qi is not in tune with the usual condition, he still follows his father in his bones, and he has some blood and tenacity.

, a tiger father has no dog son."

"If you are studying, Su Qi's talent is not very good, and he is probably the only one who stops at the juren. But if you are in the military, just rely on his character and martial arts, as long as you practice it well, you will have great potential in the future!"

Gu Yunji felt that he was very serious, so he agreed with him a few more words. As the two chatted, the topic turned back to the direction during the Spring Festival. Gu Yunji said: "Cheng Yan and I are naturally going back to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

Reunited with your family. Where is the teacher and Miss Xu? Should you stay in Hangzhou Prefecture, or go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year with Master Xu?"

Xu Chengyu shook his head: "None of them. Shujing stayed in the capital, and Shuhua and I were going back to our hometown Shaoxing Prefecture."

The Xu family in Shaoxing, like the Gu family in Songjiang, are both famous families in Jiangnan. The Xu family has a deep foundation. In addition to sending their children to the government, they also operate maritime trade, with well-connected trade routes and food everywhere. They are very powerful in Shaoxing Prefecture.

Although Xu Chengyu's parents are no longer alive, he was born in the Xu family and there are many of his brothers and nephews in Shaoxing Mansion, and he still has to go back to visit him from time to time.

As he said that, Xu Chengyu sighed: "In recent years, the Japanese pirates along the coast have caused panic among the people of Shaoxing. Last year, the tribe has lost a lot of commercial income. I have to go back and have a look to appease the tribe.

”

Before Xu Chengyu retired, he became the chief minister of the cabinet. His disciples and disciples were everywhere in the world. He was also very prestigious within the Xu clan. Whenever something happened, everyone was used to following him. This time, the Japanese pirates were so rampant that he was naturally indispensable.

Please go back and give an idea.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunji's expression narrowed: "Has the Japanese pirates started to make trouble again? Why didn't there be any written in the newspaper?"

Xu Chengyu said: "The Japanese pirates are making trouble every year, and it is no longer a strange thing to fight one after another. As long as there is no big trouble, the court will not suddenly pay attention to it."

Gu Yunji couldn't help asking: "The Japanese are in a civil war, and they are too busy to take care of the others. Some of the floating warriors who leaked from them are homeless, so they slowly gathered on the sea and became Japanese pirates. Logically speaking, they are small countries like theirs.

, there are not many people, so it should not be able to become powerful. Why are the Japanese pirates on the coast so difficult to suppress?"

Xu Chengyu explained: "The Japanese pirates wandered on the sea. Although there were not many people, they were particularly scattered. If you beat him and retreat, he would disturb him. Whenever our court gathered a large number of soldiers to fight against the Japanese pirates, they would hide from the east and west.

Attack, you can run around and waste your military and civilian wealth."

"So, although the Japanese disaster has existed for a long time, it is always difficult to completely suppress it. It is often like leeks, and after cutting one after another, it is still unclear."

Xu Chengyu was worried, not only worried about being invaded by his family, but also the coastal residents of several prefectures who were worried about being affected by the Japanese disaster.

Hearing this, Gu Yunji couldn't help but think of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in his previous life. I just don't know if this era is such a national hero who is still peaceful in the coastal people?

As they said that, the two of them were both in a state of consciousness and ended the topic in unknowingly silence.

In the whistling winter wind, the always warm Jiangnan rarely fell into a thin wet snow, which added a bit of mud to the students of Luxi Academy to return home during the holiday. But this small bump did not affect everyone's joy.

Another urgent mood has become a topic of relieving boredom on the long journey back.

While Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan were riding in a carriage and staggering towards Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Su Qi also embarked on the journey to Kuhan Northern Xinjiang during several carriages and horses.

In the twelfth lunar month, people who have been busy for a year finally have the opportunity to rest, prepare New Year's goods, wear new clothes, paste Spring Festival couplets, and keep the old New Year... It seems busy, but it is full of the fun of the Spring Festival and the joy of reunion.
